My answer to Is Mises’s action axiom self evident? https://t.co/X0C0GANSPg Is the statement an axiom? No. It’s a Law. The difference between an axiom and a law, is that an axiom is declared (created and therefore arbitrary), and a law is discovered (existential, and therefore unavoidable). Is the law self evident? Self evident means ‘obvious’. Yes, that man acts and must act, is obvious. What does the law that man must act tell us? Absolutely nothing. It is meaningless. To react we must only biologically respond. To act we must decide. To decide we must reason. Like all Libertarian Tropes (nonsense-arguments) both “Man Acts” and “Non Aggression” are incomplete statements. Abrahamic sophisms (Pilpul and Critique) rely heavily upon suggestion. Suggestion refers to providing only partial information, such that the individual consciously or unconsciously provides the rest of the information – but provides his judgement or value of it. As such, when we make moral suggestions (half truths), we force the recipient to substitute his value judgements in order to complete the sentence (transaction for, or contract for, meaning). This is why non-aggression is nonsense and libertarianism is a dead end: because everyone intuits his moral standard of property. Thus agreeing with NAP yet in truth, agreeing only with himself. So we have millions of idiots running around claiming NAP is a standard of something other than one’s reflection. (Quite stupid really.) The complete sentences are (a) man acts to acquire all that is necessary for survival, discounts on acquisitions, and opportunities for reproduction. And (b) reciprocity requires non imposition upon (aggression against) the demonstrated investments of others regardless of whether they are physical, kinship, interpersonal, organizational, the commons, institutional, or informational. In other words, anything people have born any cost to obtain an interest, and which they demonstrate defense of.

Is the statement an axiom? No. Itâs a Law. The difference between an axiom and a law, is that an axiom is declared (created and therefore arbitrary), and a law is discovered (existential, and therefore unavoidable).
Is the law self evident? Self evident means âobviousâ. Yes, that man acts and must act, is obvious.
What does the law that man must act tell us? Absolutely nothing. It is meaningless. To react we must only biologically respond. To act we must decide. To decide we must reason.

We Can Afford to Speciate – so Let’s Do It
The problem is we are now speciating because we can afford to speciate, because we can afford to SORT, and through mobility and sortition specialize. This is a good thing as long as we create governments for each group that is speciating, becasue governments create the commons necessary to support the interests of those who are speciating. The problem is the fallacy of “WE”. There is no longer a ‘WE’, becuase we are not enough the same as we were until 1960 when the left decided to achieve through third world immigration what they could not achieve by their ideas. A libertarian does not want to govern others. He or she only wants to remain ungoverned by others. However, we differ in the commons we demand. And as such we differ in the polities we must produce. SO the only solution is Revolution, Secession, Sortition, Prosperity, and Speciation. You see, it’s pretty obvious given the genetic record that we were in the process of speciating by region. Farming changed that. At present, farming is over, and speciation can continue becasue we can afford to this time, not because it was necessary as in prior eras. -

Stoicism teaches Mindfulness: Training of the Intuition, just as twe train the mind and body.
1) Mindfulness as I use it, in the stoic tradition, refers to mental fitness: acquiring virtues (quality human goods) that improve us as social creatures, rather than impulsive goods, or things (cheap animal goods): Insulation from emotional bads: impulse, envy, fear. 2) We are subject to an ever increasing stream of opportunities. And unlike those of the past, where many conditions could cause us stress of deprivation, today’s opportunities cause us stress of choice. So we solve both problems past and present by self authoring virtues…. 3) … I can’t do much in tweets, but it’s just the process of mentally disciplining yourself so that animal impulses with which we were born are rationally reacted to rather than impulsively reacted to, and then actions and reactions taken and made according to our virtues (goals). 4) … Mental discipline can be created by any number of methods: prayer, meditation, ritual, sport, but other than self-authoring, each has tragic consequences. The virtue of stoic discipline is that it asks us to act to obtain our goals, and to be free of manipulation by others, and manipulation by our animal impulses, such that we divert the least effort to that which is not relevant to achieving our goals. 5) … And stoic discipline is superior to others particularly because it provides us with defense against abrahamism in all its forms. -

GODS
THE ARCHETYPES – THE FAMILY
Central to Greek religion in classical times were the twelve Olympian deities headed by Zeus. Each god was honored with stone temples and statues, and sanctuaries (sacred enclosures), which, although dedicated to a specific deity, often contained statues commemorating other gods.[1]
They were a family of gods, the most important consisting of the first generation of Olympians, offspring of the Titans Cronus and Rhea: Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter and Hestia, along with the principal offspring of Zeus: Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite,[3] Hephaestus, Hermes, and Dionysus.
The city-states would conduct various festivals and rituals throughout the year, with particular emphasis directed towards the patron god of the city, such as Athena at Athens, or Apollo at Corinth.[1]
THE RELIGION OF REAL AND HISTORICAL HEROES
Religious practice would also involve the worship of heroes, people who were regarded as semi-divine. Such heroes ranged from the mythical figures in the epics of Homer to historical people such as the founder of a city.[1]
THE NATURAL WORLD WAS DENSELY POPULATED
At the local level, the landscape was filled with sacred spots and monuments; for example, many statues of Nymphs were found near and around springs, and the stylized figures of Hermes could often be found on street corners.[1]
ALEXANDER MIXED EUROPEAN AND CENTRAL ASIAN
In the aftermath of the conquests of Alexander the Great, Greek culture spread widely and came into much closer contact with the civilizations of the Near East and Egypt.
The most significant changes to impact on Greek religion were the loss of independence of the Greek city-states to Macedonian rulers; the importation of foreign deities; and the development of new philosophical systems.[4]
THE NEAR EAST BROUGHT DECLINE
***Older surveys of Hellenistic religion tended to depict the era as one of religious decline, discerning a rise in scepticism, agnosticism and atheism, as well as an increase in superstition, mysticism, and astrology.[5]***
THE ARCHETYPAL GODS ARE SENSIBLE DIVISIONS OF THE WORLD:
-THE MASCULINE WORLD-
ZEUS (FATHER): King of the gods. God of the sky, lightning, thunder, law, order and justice
ATHENA (WISDOM/POSITIVE) Goddess of wisdom, strategy, warfare and skill.
ARES: (PASSION/NEGATIVE) God of war, violence and destruction. The force of destruction, savage warfare and bloodlust.
-THE REAL WORLD-
APOLLO (UPPER): God of light, the sun, prophecy, philosophy, truth, inspiration, poetry, music, arts, medicine, healing.
HERMES(MIDDLE): god of travel, trade, diplomacy, persuasion, writings and athletics.
HEPHAESTUS(WORKING): god of craftsmanship, blacksmiths and stonemasonry.
-THE FEMININE WORLD-
HERA (MOTHER): Queen of the gods and the goddess of marriage, women, childbirth and family.
APHRODITE (DAUGHTER): goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and procreation.
HESTIA(YOUNG DAUGHTER): Virgin goddess of hearth, the domestic affairs and home.
-THE NATURAL WORLD-
POSEIDON(NATURE’S POWER): God of the seas, water, storms, hurricanes, earthquakes (and horses).
ARTEMIS(BEASTS): Goddess of hunting and wilderness
DEMETER (AGRICULTURE): Goddess of the harvest, fertility, agriculture, nature and the seasons
DIONYISUS God of wine, festivals and pleasure.

Curt Doolittle updated his status.
Yes, Peterson has a self authoring course, but not the ‘framing’, and I think Massimo puts books out on the framing but not a course.
Effectively speaking stocism is a scientific religion. Or rather a religious and philosophical system that does not conflict with science.
In my understanding, we are trying to (by accident) recreate the stoic philosophy (religion).
It was quite a while before I understood that’s what I was doing. I think Massimo is doing it intentionally. I haven’t got to peterson yet to ask if he’s knowingly doing it.
I have reasons to prefer peterson’s method. My only question is whether or not he should use biblical stories or not. And my preference is ‘no’, because I want to kill abrahamism (sophism) while at the same time preserve literary analogy (wisdom literature)
